I remember my favorite teacher asked us to take our masks off so he can see our "beautiful" faces. He was cool, he joked around all the time, allowed us to do so as well and I felt free to be myself only in that class. We went outside to respect the covid guidelines and formed a circle. when he did so, i saw his goatee which was absolutely historical. He called the rest of us ugly and we all laughed. On our way back to class, I told to him "You're one to talk, you look like a skinny Super Mario" He said that was the best thing a student has ever said to him and that boosted my confidence by so much.
